Battery frame

The top frame to hold the battery down is missing in my car. The bottom frame seems original and indicates to welcome the correct group 27 size battery (see pics). As to what I learned from older threads in this forum the top frame is of other/smaller dimensions than the bottom frame. Can anybody ad...

Ptoblems with seals for front and rear screens

I have problems with the fit of the rubber seals for the front and rear screens. The rubber is not shaped correctly so that there is a gap between the chrome trim and the seal. The chrome trim is in correct shape, it is definitely the rubber that caises the problem. I bought the seals from Cicognani...

Re: Rear axle drop stop

I received the replacement rope with 5mm and it is too thick. Seems that the original zinc plated metal rope for the drop stop of the rear axle is of dimension 4,5 mm 7x19 and not 5mm as described initially.

Re: 250 GTE Windshield Washer "Pump"

If you are willing to accept a little different way to mount the pump you might use the one from Lada 2103 or Polski Fiat. Google this:

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

Thank you for the link on ebay, this seems to be what I need. As an reaction to obviously some of us watching the item the seller increased the price to EUR 150,00 in the meantime. The greed we are confronted with at virtually any part we need for our cars is disgusting und sometimes harms my pleasu...

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

I could not find a source for the original type plastic screw plugs of the Baroclem Battery. Does anybody have one of these screwed sealing plugs? The classic batteries available today have red round plugs, I want to have the original type reproduced but need a sample to manage this.

Lower rocker panel /sill trim for 250 GTE

Does anybody know a source where to get a good replacement for the lower rocker panel / sill trim? It is made from alloy and fixed with hidden screws that slide in a rail on the underside. A replacement from stainless steel would also be acceptable as this trim is finished in black semi mat varnish.
